1st Session, 38th Parliament,
The Honourable Daniel Hays, Speaker
Hon. Mobina S. B. Jaffer: Honourable senators, I rise today to draw your attention to Law Day across Canada. Marking the anniversary of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, this year Law Day celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the equality rights in section 15 of the Charter. The theme, Access to Justice, is a theme I strongly endorse, a theme that reflects the right of every Canadian to have equal access to information about the laws and the legal institutions of Canada.
Public legal information and education activities involving hundreds of lawyers have been organized across Canada by the Canadian Bar Association, the CBA. Activities include courthouse tours, newspaper supplements, poster contests, phone-a-lawyer, career panels and fun runs to raise money for charities. The aim is to make the law more accessible to all Canadians and to expand their knowledge of their rights within Canada's justice system.
We can all be proud of the work that the Canadian Bar Association does for the citizens of Canada. The activities include law reform, legal aid, access to justice and international development.
Nobody tackles national law reform like the Canadian Bar Association. The Canadian Bar Association makes more than 60 submissions to and appearances before the federal government each year, dealing with everything from competition law to custody and access to anti-marijuana laws.
The Canadian Bar Association helped change the government's proposed money-laundering legislation to protect lawyer-client privilege.
The Canadian Bar Association has been championing legal aid reform for many years, demanding that federal and provincial governments fund and maintain a healthy legal aid system.
No aspect of the Canadian bar's work does more for Canada's image abroad, particularly in the field of human rights, than the activities of the International Development Committee, the IDC. The International Development Committee educates jurists, strengthens the rule of law and improves access to justice in countries where these services are needed most. The IDC's mission is to alleviate poverty and injustice through the rule of law. The programs are in countries such as South Africa, Bangladesh, the Caribbean and China.
Probably the Canadian Bar Association's greatest accomplishment has been in South Africa, a nation that has relied on Canada's help to remake itself. Our Charter of Rights and Freedoms was the model for their new constitution.
Partnering with South Africa-based Legal Resources Centre, the IDC has helped support numerous successful legal challenges by the Law Resources Centre. One such victory earned HIV-positive, pregnant women the right to receive medicine the government was refusing to distribute.
In China, thanks to the Canadian Bar Association, the Chinese defence lawyers presented Chinese National Law Day on December 18, 2004. The activity helped 50,000 Chinese citizens.
The Canadian Bar Association provides a unique service for Canadians through its public interest advocacy, public education programs such as Law Day, and its international outreach.
I offer my encouragement and support to the Canadian Bar Association, as well as to the many legal groups here in Ottawa and across Canada in their endeavours on Law Day. Please join me in extending best wishes to all involved for a successful Law Day in 2005.

Approval of COVID vaccine for young children a 'monumental step,' says Brock immunologist
Friday, July 15, 2022 | by The Brock News
Health Canada announced Thursday that the Moderna vaccine has been approved for children between six months and five years old.
The recent approval of a COVID vaccine for infants and preschoolers is a boost needed in Canada's ongoing battle with the pandemic, says Brock University immunologist Adam MacNeil.
"This is a monumental step toward maximizing the vaccine layer of protection across our communities as we continue to wrestle with the evolution of one of the most transmissible pathogens in human history and learn more about its long-term impacts on health outcomes," says MacNeil, Associate Professor of Immunology.
The children's vaccine works in exactly the same way as the adult version, he says, with very mild — and no serious — side effects reported to date.
Brock University immunologist Adam MacNeil.
"As a parent of an under-five-year-old myself, and someone who has dedicated significant time to studying immunity at its most fundamental level, I will absolutely be vaccinating my child," MacNeil says.
At one-quarter the size of the standard adult dose, Moderna's latest vaccine takes children's smaller bodies into account, "with the lower dose being optimized to ensure a safe and effective immune response," he says.
MacNeil explains that the children's dose contains 25 micrograms of messenger RNA (mRNA) as compared to the 100 micrograms found in the adult version. This will be translated into a protein and shown to the immune system to create a protective immune response in the form of antibodies and T cells, he says.
"The bottom line is that independent scientific review of the evidence on vaccine efficacy has demonstrated that the benefits of receiving the vaccine outweigh the risks and that the immune response is similar to that seen in those 18 to 25 years old," he says.
MacNeil notes that polio, diphtheria, pertussis, measles, smallpox and other pathogens have been completely or nearly wiped out thanks to routine childhood vaccination schedules.
Meanwhile, COVID-19 continues to pose a threat to children. MacNeil says that in Ontario, 23 children from newborn to four years have recently been hospitalized for COVID, while a similar number is attributed to the entire five-to-39-year-old age range.
Like many other viruses, COVID-19 infection may also have long-term effects that aren't fully understood yet, he says.
He encourages parents who have concerns or questions about their children's unique situations to talk to their child's health-care provider.
MacNeil says that while most or all people will likely be exposed to the COVID-19 virus at some point, research has shown multiple infections lead to increasingly negative health outcomes on the body's tissues and organs.
"These aren't dice you want to roll," he says. "You want to catch this as few times as you can. Vaccines will help with that and protecting our youngest and most vulnerable is a big step toward minimizing the transmission chain with the tools we have available to us."

Expansion for Coolair Equipment with New Presence in the South West and Wales
A - Home Page B - Original Content Professional Services South Wales
Professional Services , 11th July 2022
Coolair Equipment Limited continue their expansion into new territories by establishing a permanent presence in South Wales. The move will allow the one-stop air-conditioning specialists to service clients in Wales and the South West.
It follows Coolair Equipment Limited's expansion into the North East and Scotland earlier this year. The company also has regional offices in Maidstone and the Midlands, and is headquartered in Manchester.
The new arm of the business will be managed by Chepstow-based Stephen Morley, who joins Coolair Equipment Limited as Business Development Specialist, South West and Wales.
Stephen has more than 15 years' experience in the HVAC sector, and is interested in new green energy solutions, as well as establishing new revenue streams for Coolair Equipment Limited.
"Coolair Equipment Limited is a bit of an institution within the HVAC industry and the opportunity to head up their operations in a new territory was too appealing to pass.
"I am looking forward to develop the business within South Wales and the South West, making them the go-to air-conditioning and heat pump company in the region."
John Otterson, Managing Director of Coolair Equipment Limited, said:
"As we look to the future of our business, building a network of regional bases is high on our agenda. Following the appointment of Mark Walsh to head up our North East and Scotland arm, finding the right candidate to do the same in the South West and Wales was a priority.
"Stephen brings with him significant experience both on the tools and in a sales environment.
"We are looking forward to growing our presence in these areas."

Cyprus/Life & Society
COVID19: Cyprus edging to EU green status
Cyprus is closer to the European Centre for Disease Control's green category status for coronavirus risk assessment, as its epidemiological indices have progressively improved.
The island's 14-day accumulative notification rate has dropped to 92.1 per 100,000, compared to 130 two weeks ago. To be classified as green, Cyprus must push cases to below 75.
Cyprus two weeks ago managed to escape the high-risk dark red zone it had been in for months as daily cases climaxed to 941 in mid-April.
Currently, it is placed in ECDC's orange category, which includes countries with a notification rate lower than 150 per 100,000 and higher than 75.
Three out of five districts have already pushed their notification rates to below 75.
Larnaca leads, dropping its rate by 70%, from 99.3 per 100,000 to just 30.2, Paphos has a 53.5 case rate, dropping slightly from 54.5, while Nicosia's dropped to 63.5 from 103.9.
Famagusta's rate remains high despite dropping from 222.9 to 139.1 per 100,000, while Limassol's rate is the highest at 166.7, falling from 177.2.
In its latest epidemiological report Friday, the Health Ministry noted if Cyprus pushed cases closer to the 75 per 100,000 mark and keeps its positivity rate under 1%, the country could make it on ECDC's green list next month.
For the last two weeks, the test positivity rate was around 0.1%, the ministry said.
It said vaccination has been paying off, as most cases were found among younger age groups, where vaccine coverage is the lowest.
The 20-29 age group saw 23.1% of cases and the 30–39-year-olds 21.1%, meaning that four in ten cases involved people of age groups with the lowest vaccination rates.
The 14-day notification rate per 100,000 people for the 20-59 age group was 109.5, while this fell to 42.3 for those 60-69, 22.6 for 70–79-year-olds and 29.9 for those aged 80 and over.
Cyprus' overall positivity rate (rapid tests) remained at 0.1%, with Paphos, Larnaca and Famagusta's rates at zero.
Limassol remained unchanged at 0.1, while Nicosia went from 0% to 0.1%.
The reproduction rate R(0) of the virus stands at 0.84, under one means it's in check.
From 2-15 June, 818 cases were diagnosed. The median age was 30 (Interquartile range -IQR: 20-43years); 50.1% were males(410), 49.6% females (406) and for two cases (0.2%) information is not currently available.
Only 13.8% (113) of cases were imported.
Some 39 people were still hospitalised, nine patients were in ICU, of which eight are intubated.
The median age of patients still hospitalised due to COVID-19 is 58 (IQR: 45-67years), 76.9% (30) are males, and 43.6% (17) are from Limassol.
Deaths attributed to COVID-19 indicate that 378 people have died from coronavirus, with the associated mortality being 40.7 per 100,000.
Deaths involving men were two-thirds of the total. The median age of all deaths was 77.5.
The Health Ministry said despite the lifting of measures and resumption of social activities, people must remain vigilant if cases are to drop further.
Health Minister Constantinos Ioannou called on people to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
"Variants detected, such as the Indian are taking their toll on people of younger ages, increasing hospitalisations amongst this group.
"It is necessary for younger people to come forward to get vaccinated because that it is the only way to protect their health and that of their loved ones."

Translated by Michael Emmerich
"Ms. Yoshimoto's writing is lucid, earnest and disarming . . . [It] seizes hold of the reader's sympathy and refuses to let go." —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
While The Lake shows off many of the features that have made Banana Yoshimoto famous—a cast of vivid and quirky characters, simple yet nuanced prose, a tight plot with an upbeat pace—it's also one of the most darkly mysterious books she's ever written.
It tells the tale of a young woman who moves to Tokyo after the death of her mother, hoping to get over her grief and start a career as a graphic artist. She finds herself spending too much time staring out her window, though … until she realizes she's gotten used to seeing a young man across the street staring out his window, too.
They eventually embark on a hesitant romance, until she learns that he has been the victim of some form of childhood trauma. Visiting two of his friends who live a monastic life beside a beautiful lake, she begins to piece together a series of clues that lead her to suspect his experience may have had something to do with a bizarre religious cult. . . .
With its echoes of the infamous, real-life Aum Shinrikyo cult (the group that released poison gas in the Tokyo subway system), The Lake unfolds as the most powerful novel Banana Yoshimoto has written. And as the two young lovers overcome their troubled past to discover hope in the beautiful solitude of the lake in the country- side, it's also one of her most moving.
BANANA YOSHIMOTO wrote her first novel, Kitchen, while working as a waitress at a golf-course restaurant. It sold millions of copies worldwide, and led to a phenomenon dubbed by Western journalists as "Banana-mania." Yoshimoto has gone on to be one of the biggest-selling and most distinguished writers in Japanese history, winning numerous awards for her work. The Lake is her thirteenth book of fiction.

Praise for Banana Yoshimoto and The Lake
"[The Lake] attests to the power of emotional intimacy to help even the most 'ridiculously fragile people' overcome trauma and grief." —Hirsh Sawhney, The New York Times Book Review
"What makes The Lake resonate is how…[Chihiro and Nakajima] find happiness in each other in spite of their distorted lives." —Oprah.com, an "O's 2011 Summer Reading List" pick
"Touching." —Miami Herald
"Reading [The Lake], you realize just how conventional most love stories are." —The New York Times
"Yoshimoto's simplicity–both in prose and narrative–speaks to a mastery of form….The Lake will haunt you." —Thought Catalog
"The simplicity of this elliptical novel's form and expression belies its emotional depth…There's almost an artistic sleight of hand in the latest from Yoshimoto, a novel in which nothing much seems to happen yet everything changes." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review Link
"Yoshimoto's marvelously light touch is perfectly captured by Emmerich's pristine translation." —Publishers Weekly
"Yoshimoto aficionados who have savored any of the dozen-plus novels she's written over the last three decades since she became a near-instant pop literary phenomenon with Kitchen will recognize her signature crisp, clipped style (thanks to exacting translator Emmerich's constancy) and revel in her latest cast of quirky characters. Newbies with a penchant for Haruki Murakami's mind-bending protagonists or Yoko Tawada's sparse precision will do well to begin their so-called Bananamania with this beguiling title." —Library Journal
"Yoshimoto is in peak form in this mesmerizing and suspenseful drama of the perils of brainwashing, from class bias to intrusive advertising to an infamous cult. Social conventions, memories and dreams, and the creative process are all explored with exquisite insight in Yoshimoto's beautifully mystical and hopeful novel." —Booklist
"A sure and lyrical writer… Yoshimoto transforms the trite into the essential." — The New Yorker
"Banana Yoshimoto is a master storyteller…. The sensuality is subtle, masked, and extraordinarily powerful. The language is deceptively simple." —Chicago Tribune
"There is no such thing as a stock character in Yoshimoto's fiction. She writes utterly without pretense." —The Washington Post

Cornell's first Africana studies Ph.D. among newest grads
Cornell Chronicle
Marsha Jean-Charles was 15 years old when she read a novel that would start her on the path to making Cornell history.
"Breath, Eyes, Memory" is a semi-autobiographical novel by Edwidge Danticat. Like Jean-Charles, Danticat is Haitian-American and grew up in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, a neighborhood known as Little Haiti.
"That was the point of my own personal socio-cultural and political awakening," Jean-Charles said. "Often for marginalized people, literature is one of the few venues in which people see themselves and feel understood."
Now a scholar of contemporary literature by Haitian women, Jean-Charles on May 25 became the first Ph.D. in Africana studies from Cornell. Wearing a stole of Haiti's flag, she was recognized along with approximately 300 other doctoral candidates in Barton Hall at a festive Ph.D. hooding ceremony.
"Most of my work is about how literature is deeply political," Jean-Charles said, "especially when the people writing it are regularly confronting systems of oppression with and within their work.
"My dissertation committee has always been really amazing and supportive and has consistently had my back," she added. "So I'm particularly indebted to them – especially Carole Boyce Davies [professor of English and Africana studies]."
Cornell launched New York state's first Ph.D. program in Africana studies in 2013. Two other Africana studies doctoral candidates – Oluwakanyinsola Obayan and Nadia Sasso – participated in the hooding ceremony but will graduate later this year.
"It represents years of intellectual engagement and research, fueled by a fierce determination to discover and demonstrate something new, to elucidate something no one else has ever examined in quite the same way," he said. "On behalf of the faculty, I wish you continued success in your careers and look forward to hearing of all your future achievements."
President Martha E. Pollack followed, noting that this turning point will divide everything in the graduates' lives into "before" and "after."
"Everything that happened until today happened when you were a student – a scholar in training, as it were," she said. "But from this point onward, you are a full-fledged member of the community of scholars."
The graduates are now experts in their specific fields of research – fine-grained traffic management in computer networks, hobbyist collectives and the maker movement, gastric squamous-columnar junction carcinogenesis, and the historical phonology of Manchu dialects, to name just a few.
They're also experts in a few other things that will serve them well in life, Pollack said. One of those things is tenacity. Finishing a Ph.D. requires incredible tenacity, and tenacity has a few prerequisites of its own, she noted.
Tenacity requires patience – "something that's in short supply today," she said. And it requires self-confidence, the willingness to keep going even when the experiment fails or when the conference paper is rejected.
"In those moments," Pollack said, "you need self-confidence to say, 'Well, that idea didn't work out, but I'm going to try my next idea anyway – and it will be a success.'"
Tenacity also requires passion: "In fact, I think that passion may be the single most essential requirement for anyone setting out on the intellectual marathon we call writing a dissertation," she said.
Passion is to a Ph.D. what feet are to a bicycle. "Without passion on the pedals," she said, "you aren't going anywhere."
Tenacity also requires the support of others, Pollack said, whether they are advisers, committee members, officemates, friends or family.
Pollack ended her address with a request: "Remember the role that kindness has played in bringing you to this point – and bring that kindness with you. Share it with others, as you go forward from here. Congratulations to each of you – and welcome to the club."

The 2015 Waste Management Phoenix Open (WMPO), the world's best-attended golf tournament, diverted 100 percent of tournament waste away from landfills for the third straight year.
According to the WMPO 2015 Sustainability Report, in addition to achieving zero waste validation, WM improved the tournament's overall sustainability results amid a record 564,368 attendees.
"We continue to advance our efforts year after year to show the sporting world – and the rest of the world – that 'green' is possible," said Michele Grossman, managing principal for WM Sustainability Services.
Two outside parties validate WM's sustainability results – the Council for Responsible Sport and UL Environment. For three years in a row, WMPO has earned UL Environment's highest landfill diversion rate designation, Zero Waste to Landfill Operations, with 10 percent incineration with energy recovery in 2014 and 2015, and 12 percent in 2013.
"Waste Management continues to take a leadership role in modeling sustainable event management practices, which we hope will become the industry standard going forward," said Lisa Meier, UL Environment vice president and general manager.
The Council for Responsible Sport elevated the tournament's two-year certification from Gold to Evergreen status, making WMPO the largest event and the first-ever PGA Tour tournament to achieve Evergreen certification.
Once again in 2015, there were no trash receptacles at WMPO, only recycling and compost bins, and WM expanded vendor and fan education of proper waste sorting. Diversion efforts included the donation of more than 30,000 pounds of perishable food to local charities and more than 25,000 pounds of materials to Habitat for Humanity ReStore.


Fast & Furious 7 has overtaken The Avengers to become the third highest-grossing film of all time.
The car chase sequel – simply titled Furious 7 in the US – has now taken over $1.520 billion (£970 million) worldwide, inching ahead of the Marvel blockbuster, which grossed $1.519 billion (£960 million) globally in 2012. The only films to have grossed more are Avatar, top of the all time list with $2.79 billion (£1.76 billion), and Titanic, second with $2.19 billion (£1.38 billion).
Read the NME review of Fast & Furious 7 here.
Upon its release in April, Fast & Furious 7 grossed $1 billion worldwide in a record time of 17 days. However, this record has since been beaten by Jurassic World, which took just 13 days to reach the $1 billion milestone.


What's the Biggest Factor in the Cincinnati Gorilla Story?
A gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo was shot and killed by the zookeepers after they saw the primate aimlessly swing around a 4-year-old boy after the child fell over the barrier and into the exhibit.
Some blame the parents for not watching their kid. Some blame the zoo for holding a wild animal in captivity. Some are calling for #JusticeforHarambe.
Join AM 760's Brett Winterble as he interacted with the listeners and how they felt if the gorilla should have been fatally shot or not.

YouTube is banning prominent anti-vaccine activists and blocking all anti-vaccine content
Online video company banning channels associated with prominent anti-vaccine activists, says spokesperson
in International News
courtesy via the west austrailian
YouTube will block all anti-vaccine content, moving beyond its ban on false information about the Covid vaccines to include content that contains misinformation about other approved vaccines, it said in a blog post on Wednesday.
Examples of content that won't be allowed on YouTube include claims that the flu vaccine causes infertility and that the MMR shot, which protects against measles, mumps, and rubella, can cause autism, according to YouTube's policies.
The online video company owned by Alphabet Inc (GOOGL.O) is also banning channels associated with several prominent anti-vaccine activists including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Joseph Mercola, a YouTube spokesperson said.
A press email for Mercola's website said in a statement: "We are united across the world, we will not live in fear, we will stand together and restore our freedoms." Kennedy did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The moves come as YouTube and other tech giants like Facebook Inc. (FB.O) and Twitter Inc. (TWTR.N) have been criticized for not doing enough to stop the spread of false health information on their sites.
But even as YouTube takes a tougher stance on misinformation, it faces backlash around the world. On Tuesday, Russian state-backed broadcaster RT's German-language channels were deleted from YouTube, as the company said the channels had breached its Covid-19 misinformation policy.
Russia on Wednesday called the move "unprecedented information aggression," and threatened to block YouTube.

I was in New Hampshire in October, immersed in teaching and training as a Self-Care teacher in the Arvigo Techniques of Mayan Abdominal Therapy®. As a self care teacher, I can teach a 2.5 day training that explains why you would do self massage to your abdomen and how it can benefit your health.
These few weeks in the woods of New Hampshire with a focus on self-care had me wondering about practical things people can do to take care of themselves when they don't have a lot of time. This is especially important right now as the craziness of the holidays approaches!
My thought on self care is that it can be as little as 5 minutes a day and consistency is key. It will more likely happen if you can plan ahead and come up with something for yourself that will bring you a little joy. Think about what you need to recharge yourself, so you are able to attend to the needs of others, without feeling frustrated, angry or depleted.
Can you take a nice hot bath? Take a walk outside, even around the block? Get lost in a really good novel? Plan a delicious meal that soothes or comforts your soul? Make a nice cup of tea or cocoa or even a cocktail to just relax and be? Do a little self massage? Plan a movie night with your friends or loved ones? Knit/crochet or sew or draw/paint a little something – if you have a hobby that you love to do but rarely make time for?
I find music is particularly helpful, if you have something you love to listen to. It can transport you in an instant. If you need to move your body or shift your mood, dancing around the kitchen to your favorite song is likely going to help!
As part of my trainings, one of the biggest things we talk about is that "self care" shouldn't be considered as selfish, and that most people "can't serve from an empty vessel". Consider this your permission slip to take some time to take care of yourself this holiday season and everyday!

A rotomolded polyethylene hull, adjustable foot braces and a super-comfy seat provide a confident ride, one well suited to wetting a line. The Quest 11's angler-friendly pedigree includes covered bow stowage, molded-in rod holders and a generous stern cargo area that allows you to haul everything from optional tackle and crate systems to a Hobie Livewell.


There is an increasing literature on the exclusion of and difficulties faced by minority ethnic communities in a range of areas, of which housing is one of the most important. But there is relatively little good, recent, qualitative material available, which explores the process of decision‐making-including decisions regarding housing-within minority ethnic families. A missing element, therefore, is the study of action by householders and consequently, the realisation (or otherwise) of preferences and the cumulative results of actions in facilitating or restricting choice. The present paper reports on a small‐scale research study of Pakistani housing preferences in Glasgow, whose aim was to develop a life history interviewing technique, using a semi‐structured schedule, focusing on housing preferences, housing moves and experiences. Pakistani households are shown to experience continuing difficulties in funding and organising household moves. There are areas of Glasgow where families feel unsafe and there is a continuing problem of racial harassment. Neither the local authority nor housing associations are generally able to offer appropriate housing. The life history interviewing technique used allows an exploration of how households reached decisions on their housing and on how they indulged in 'trade‐offs' between different houses, areas or tenures. Thus our understanding of the role of agency in the development of patterns of housing and individual housing careers is developed.
